New in PJ Media:
Did the 9/11 hijackers and plotters succeed? Can it finally be said, nearly twenty-two years after they murdered nearly three thousand people in New York and Washington, that they have attained their objectives?
Back in 2003, Osama bin Laden wrote a letter to the American people in which he explained, “The first thing that we are calling you to is Islam.” Twenty years later, that very call will resound from loudspeakers all over the city that was his chief target on Sept. 11, 2001. (All the 9/11-was-an-inside-job types can find bin Laden taking responsibility for the attacks here). New York Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday announced what Gothamist described as “new NYPD rules” that “will allow mosques in New York City to broadcast the Muslim call to prayer without a permit.”
Adams couched this rule change in language designed to give the impression that he was doing something for people of all religious communities, but ended up making it clear that he was making a special concession to Muslims only: “For too long, there has been confusion about which communities are allowed to amplify their calls to prayer,” he said. “Today, we are cutting red tape and saying clearly, if you are a mosque or house of worship of any kind, you do not have to apply for a permit to amplify your call to Friday prayer.” Well, great, but the only “house of worship of any kind” that has a call to prayer, and particularly one for Friday, is a mosque.
As given to shallow demagoguery as any other Democrat politician, Adams concluded grandly: “You are free to live your faith in New York City.” That’s swell, although the religious freedom of Muslims in New York City wasn’t really restricted before this. Adams appears to be completely indifferent to the fact that there are non-Muslims in New York City as well as Muslims, and there has been controversy over the broadcast of the Islamic call to prayer over loudspeakers for years.
Back in 2016, Gothamist itself reported that neighbors of one city mosque found the call to prayer “too noisy,” and noted that they had “filed 156 noise complaints against Masjid al-Aman.” It’s grand that Muslims are free to live their faith in New York City, Mayor Adams, but do the neighbors of mosques have any right to enjoy a non-intrusive, noise-free environment, at least insofar as such a thing is possible at all in New York City?
The answer is clear now, and it’s “No.” Concerns over the noise generated by mosque loudspeakers have been consigned to the dustbin of “Islamophobia,” and that’s that.
Nevertheless, there are still reasons for concern. The content of what is going to be broadcast is also relevant.
There is more. Read the rest here.

This shows the arrogance of leftists toward Christians, Jews and other faiths. They will probably not vote a conservative into government who could fight against the encroachment on our democracy and culture by foreign ideologies. But they should.
DazzleMe says
Jim, where is the respect for those killed in 9/11 attacks???? Are these democrats allowing this to happen brain dead or what, this is so wrong!! Democrats will live to regret this…..

Total surrender to Islamists/Jihadists. This is not going to be received with “gratitude” as NYorkers would like to think – but it’s a victory snatched from the helpless weak enemy – the kafir. A They will snatch more “victories”! America will live to regret this. Didn’t learn any lesson from France??!!
Noah Andeark says
English translation of the muslim call to terror. Interesting that the tune is the same as the Oscar Meyer Bologna jingle…..
Our moon-god has a first name,
it’s a-l-l-a-h.
Our moon-god has no second name,
it’s A-L-L-A-H.
Oh we kill kafir most every day,
and if you ask to whom we prayyyyyyyyyyyy…….
To kill kafir is A-O-K,
says a-l-l-a-h, oy vey.
Linde B. says
To Noah- Good one! And you are absolutely correct in your “song”.
I will write a polite letter this coming week to Mayor Eric Adams as I live in Brooklyn, NY and ask him why he favors Islam to be given the right to annoy people with broadcasting the call to prayer 5 times a day. It is not fair, and I will never become a Muslim. 😈

If property values in NYC weren’t plummeting enough, just watch it go several miles underwater
Alan Knight says
How much are the oil-rich Muslimes bribing the City Fathers to allow them to broadcast their nerve-shredding hate-filled cacophony?
What happened to the Constitutionally-guaranteed rights of Non-Muslims?
Why do not the Non-Muslims take this one to the Supreme Court? Or has the Supreme Court also been bribed?
Where is the ballsy lawyer prepared to take this obscenity to the Supreme Court?
Only Trump can stop this obscenity!
James Lincoln says
Just one more reason not to visit New York City.
It’s rapidly turning into a very dangerous leftist and islamic crap-hole.
Major Tom says
“Amazing Grace”…….every Christian should be singing it on the streets………
Kenneth Birtwistle says
Wherever they settle (muslims and islamics) they turn it into a shithole from 1,000 or more years ago). Why are they not facing a legai, moral and physical backlash? These people think they are entitled and above everybody due to their mumbo-jumbo so-called religion. The religion of peace, what a joke! The only peace the world will ever get is when this lot are extinguished.

More suicidal insanity. Just appalling.
